Great article here.Now I know what is Novruz.I think it’s a very interesting holiday and very important for Azerbaijan.I saw a video of Novruz 2009 in YouTube–http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E0UCze3upOk–this a URL of the video.Nice dance I think.It’s very interesting and also very important to know traditions of differant countries.

Thanks to both journalists for such interesting issues.I think everybody will see the same traditions that we two neiboughring countries have:growing sprouted wheat, jumping over the fire,colouring eggs,setting the holiday table,etc.I’ve also mentioned the similarity betweenTrndez and Novruz:the arrival of spring and asking for the sun warmth with the help of fire.I loved the Earth’s words:”I’ll feed you and amaze you,all you need is to take care of me,love me and enjoy,but…”These words must be credo for all people.Let’s be friends,I hate war and I’m tired of my mother’s tears when she speaks on the phone with her friends.collegues and pupils from Baku-tears of nostalgue.Let the coming spring 2009 bring us joy and happiness.Araksya Tsaturova
